The EC135 P3H, a variant of the widely used light utility helicopter, is manufactured by Airbus Helicopters. Airbus Helicopters, previously Eurocopter, is a global leader in rotorcraft development and production, originating from the merger of the helicopter divisions of Aerospatiale and Deutsche Aerospace in 1992. The history of the EC135 traces back to the Eurocopter BO 108 technology demonstrator, which first flew in 1988. It evolved into the EC135, known for its performance, safety, and versatility in emergency medical services, law enforcement, and private transport roles.
Maintenance and inspection across the EC135 P3H require specialized height access solutions. Platforms and stands utilized around this aircraft include the Reach Deck Platform, Modular Stepover Platforms, Super Trestle Scaffold, Ultraraise, Super Service Stand, Easyraise, Bridge Deck, Cantilever Platform, Aviation Chock and Cone Trolley, Super Maintenance Platform, Branach Fibreglass Platform, A Frame Aviation Platform, and Platform Ladder Warthog. These tools are indispensable for accessing key areas of the helicopter.
These access solutions address maintenance requirements across all primary sections. They provide essential reach for the Nose Section (radome, antennas, cockpit), Forward Fuselage (doors, cargo, avionics, ECS), and Landing Gear. For the Middle Fuselage, the platforms facilitate thorough access to the cabin interior and wing box area. Access solutions are equally critical for the Engine Pylon area, allowing detailed work on the engines, fans, and associated systems. Furthermore, they are vital for inspecting the AFT Fuselage (cargo, avionics, APU compartments) and the Tail Section/Empennage, including the stabilisers and rudder. The comprehensive range of platforms ensures methodical and safe access for all necessary maintenance tasks.
